Dallas Cowboys and Southwestern Fertilizers

What’s the connection between the Dallas Cowboys American football team and fertilizers? It sounds like the beginning of an off-colour joke, but no.

“The world famous American football team the Dallas Cowboys are staying at an adjacent hotel as they undertake a summer training camp at the Alamodome, with fans coming from far and wide to watch their team go through their paces,” he tells me.
